I drove a BMW M3 with the paddles and it was outstanding. Certainly would out perform my MN6. Maybe GM should partner with BMW? I for one would take the paddles if they were like the BMW but not as GM has designed it. .

I have driven a paddle shift in my S4, loved it....I wish they would have a feature though that would disable shifting automatically once you get close to redline.
It was pretty fun to downshift in a turn while having the hands on the wheel.
I'll take one.
